The girl was swimming at Spring Creek Park at Arcadia Lake about 3 p.m., police said.

She was revived after CPR was performed and was breathing without assistance Monday night.

Edmond police said the girl's mother said she was teaching her daughter to float when she became distracted.

"My understanding is that they were out in the water together and she turned her back for just a minute and she went from her back to face down," said Jenny Monroe, with Edmond police. "She thought she was floating on her back."

The family quickly pulled the child out of the water, where signs are posted saying flotation devices are required for children under 12.

"The mother was cited with not properly providing a flotation device for her child," Monroe said.
